Widow Shamed For Boyfriend A Week After Funeral

A young woman faces harsh criticism after her husband's family found her with another man seven days after the funeral. The relatives discovered the widow and her new boyfriend together at her home. Family members started shouting at the woman for moving on quickly from her marriage. The incident appeared on Crime Watch Zimbabwe and spread across social media platforms. People began attacking the woman for her actions during the mourning period.

The widow defended her choice and said she needed physical comfort after losing her spouse. She asked family members if they expected her to approach her dead husband's brothers instead. The woman claimed the relatives hit her during the confrontation at her house. She refused to apologize for finding companionship during her difficult time. The family said she should have talked to them about her emotional needs first.

Traditional customs expect women to wait one full year before dating again after their husband dies. Men often remarry faster without facing the same social judgment from their communities. Many people believe the woman was already having an affair before her husband passed away. Social media users blamed poverty and desperation for her quick decision to find another partner.
